I've been a big fan of Henrikh Mkhitaryan long before he joined Dortmund. Totally different type of player to Gotze, so hard to compare them, but so far he's doing the job. Don't seem to be missing Gotze at all. Why were we talking about this again? Haha. The Scottish clubs quality is always shat on in the Champions League, usually unjustified and brought up by people that watch them maybe once or twice a year (if at all), but quite often they always seem to pull off some big results and still never get praised for it. It's not always about the quality of the players they have anyway, it's the support that usually pulls them through. A good example is Rangers in the 2005-06 season. One of their worst squads in recent history, finished 3rd in the league and still very unlucky not to make the last 8. As for celtic this season, despite selling some of their better players, I still think they'll get more than 3 points. Milan are barely even a shadow of the team they once were (absolutely terrible last season at times). Ajax will probably be a tougher test for them if they manage to keep Eriksen. They're best buddies Barcelona could well lie down for them again as well  Fair play to the fans, couldn't have asked for 3 better away trips: Barcelona, Milan and Amsterdam. Fair; its still very early in his Dortmund career so its a bit unfair of us to judge. We started because I said PSG-Dortmund would be tight and you disagreed  I think AC will be better this year. Barca might  up again vs. Celtic, and they could beat Ajax, but I can't see them qualifying. |

1st Manchester United, 2nd Shakhtar Donetsk, 3rd Real Sociedad, 4th Bayer Leverkusen.
Group B:
1st Real Madrid, 2nd Juventus, 3rd Galatasaray, 4th Copenhagen.
Group C:
1st PSG, 2nd Benfica, 3rd Olympiakos, 4th Anderlecht.
Group D:
1st Bayern Munich, 2nd Manchester City, 3rd CSKA Moscow, 4th Viktoria Plzen.
Group E:
1st Chelsea, 2nd Schalke, 3rd Basel, 4th Steaua Bucharest.
Group F:
1st Borussia Dortmund, 2nd Arsenal, 3rd Napoli, 4th Marseille.
Group G:
1st Atletico Madrid, 2nd Porto, 3rd Zenit St. Petersburg, 4th Austria Vienna.
Group H:
1st Barcelona, 2nd AC Milan, 3rd Ajax, 4th Celtic.
Really looking forward to Group F, or what it's bound to be called 'the group of death', don't want Arsenal to progress but they always seem to do it. Real Madrid vs Juventus should be brilliant too.

Celtic are going to get 3 points (Ajax at home). That's it. heres hoping your CL predictions regarding Celtic are as spot on as last year. I actually laughed when I heard about the groups....not as much as when I came in here and seen the Barca lying down for Celtic comment though.thats gave me the best laugh of the week so far. |

Arsenal probably won't get out of that group unless they buy a few. City still haven't done f' all in the Champions League which is incredibly embarrassing for the people who have spent £1bn on re-branding Man City. United will do well, easy-ish group. Chelsea too, I honestly don't know who will get out of Group F. Easily the "group of death"

Whilst Celtic surprised me last year and played really well in their group, Ajax and AC Milan are far superior teams to Benfica and Spartak Moscow. Can't see Barcelona ing up against them this year, and, whilst not as good as they used to be, Milan SHOULD be able to get the job done at Celtic Park (not a chance Celtic are winning at the San Siro). 'd say Celtic are favourites for the home game against Ajax, but will likely lose away. 7 points is the maximum they could get, but 4 is a more realistic target. |

Just ignore all the praise I gave you lot and pick out the one joke I made and take it to heart. Typical. |

Domestically Celtic have been wayyy below par in a league they are expected to dominate. 5 minutes away from being held by Ross County, beating 10-man Aberdeen and drawing 2-2 with Inverness. People who not follow Scottish football will look at that and think 'minimum 3 points' or atleast elimination altogether, sure they had a great CL campaign last season but that was with players like Gary Hooper and Victor Wanyama who both haven't been replaced yet. |

LOL....anything you say makes me laugh Princess.....always has.your impossible to take seriously. now back OT. you make good points Noza but I still hope your predictions about Celtic are as on the spot as they were last year!! personally I dont think we have any shot of getting out of this group whatsoever.....as pointed out above by AP we have yet to replace two good men up front(as well as others)......hard to see any REAL good coming from the home ties,let alone the away ones. |

Fairly easy group for United. If they don't qualify from that Moyesy will be lynched!
